The Rolling Stones Hit The BFI London Film Festival Red Carpet

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts all on hand for the world premiere of Brett Morgan's documentary "Crossfire Hurricane" in the British capital.

LONDON ­ - The Rolling Stones rolled up the red carpet amidst scenes of fan hysteria Thursday night in the British capital for the world premiere of Brett Morgan's documentary Crossfire Hurricane during this year's BFI London Film Festival.

Band members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts were preceded on the red carpet by Oscar winner Colin Firth, Jagger ex-wife Jerry Hall and former member Bill Wyman.

The absent Mick Taylor would get a shout out later by Jagger for his contribution from the auditorium.

The Brett Morgen-directed movie includes historical footage and extensive contributions from Jagger, Richards, Watts, Wood and former Stones member Wyman.

Wyman, on hand for the glitzy shindig, said on the red carpet he'd been involved in a lot of things recently with the Stones "because a lot it is historical stuff and I've got a good memory."

The film was introduced by BFI London Film Festival director Clare Stewart who brought director Morgen to the stage. Morgen revealed he'd pulled together the hours of footage of 50 years of the band in just four months.

Band members Jagger, Richards, Wood, Watt and Wyman then took to the stage alongside producer Victoria Pearman.

Jagger did all the talking thanking myriad people for bringing the doc to the screen. He marvelled at the work that had gone into assembling the archival footage from "a big warehouse we have in North London."

Jagger then issued a word of warning to "any young people in the audience."

Said Jagger: "You're going to see some ridiculous fashions in this film and you will wear some ridiculous fashions yourself when you look back."
